'I LOVED, ADMIRED AND ENVIED THIS NOVEL, IT'S A WONDER' ZADIE SMITH 'SPELLBINDING' NEW YORKER 'THRILLING' GUARDIAN In New York, Alice, a young editor, begins an affair with Ezra Blazer, a world-famous, much older writer. At Heathrow airport, Amar, an Iraqi-American economist en route to Kurdistan, is detained by immigration. Somehow their lives are connected, in this unconventional love story that has things to say about all of contemporary life.©2018 Lisa Halliday (P)2018 Lisa Halliday

批評家のレビュー

Lisa Halliday's debut novel starts like a story you've heard, only to become a book unlike any you've read. The initial mystery is how its pieces fit together; the lasting one is how she pulled the whole thing off. Deft, funny, and humane, Asymmetry is a profoundly necessary political novel about the place for art in an unjust world (Chad Harbach, author of The Art of Fielding)
Delicious... Halliday is knowing - about isolation, dissatisfaction and the pain of being human (Sarah Begley)
Asymmetry is an amazing piece of work. Ms. Halliday has a unique ability to make the familiar strange, and the strange familiar. I'm struggling to think of a novel that has had a similar effect on me. Asymmetry is funny, sad, deeply humane, and clearly the product of a bold intelligence at work. One can only hope that something this good will find as wide an audience as it so obviously deserves (Kevin Powers)
Stunningly adept writing used to captivating effect. A highly original, compelling and relevant book full of nuance, wit and insight. And laughs, it also has laughs (Kirsty Young)
Absorbing [and] dazzling... As Blazer observes, fiction is one way we can get beyond the limits of our own lives to imaging the realities of others' worlds (Stephanie Cross)
Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday isn't just any debut. Dubbed a 'dazzling hand-grenade of a novel' [...] it's aiming to explode the power imbalances of modern life. From the personal to the political, it shines a light on disparities between male and female, East and West, old and young -and comes to a conclusion that you won't forget
A smart, insightful read about love, life and art
[With] images that shine as brightly as new coins... a symphony (James Marriott)
I galloped through Lisa Halliday's Asymmetry, which tells two parallel tales: one, a pacy, titillating account of the affair between the gauche seductress Alice, who works in publishing and a Pulitzer Prize-winner 45 years her senior... the second, a more languid story about the life of an Iraqi-American economist, Amar (Book of the Year selected by Phoebe Luckhurst)
Smart, stylish, surprising (Book of the Year selected by Claire Lowdun)
I found Lisa Halliday's Asymmetry sharp, timely and refreshing ...I'll be putting it on students' reading lists as soon as the paperback comes out (Book of the Year selected by Sarah Moss)
Funny, frightening, packed with literary excerpts and allusions, musical references, baseball and history, the parts intricately connect... dazzling, ingenious (Book of the Year selected by Elaine Showalter)
Lisa Halliday is a writer to watch (James Marriott)
[A] notable debut... Lisa Halliday's graceful juxtaposition of chance, fate and literary fame (Book of the Year selected by Justine Jordan)
Triumphant (Neil Jordan)
Subtle, thought-provoking and intense (Best books of 2018 selected by Belinda McKeon)
Halliday's narrative versatility and the many other lives glimpsed in Asymmetry open up a wide, rewarding and complex world
